Disney’s All-Star Movies is part of Disney’s All-Star Resorts and is located in the Animal Kingdom Park resort area. The All-Star resorts are three different resorts that share one main road and Security guard checkpoint for incoming traffic. Once you have cleared the security guard checkpoint you will find the three different themed resorts: All-Star Sports, All-Star Music, and All-Star Movies. The All-Star Movies resort is themed to celebrate Disney films! It is our personal favorite value resort as we are huge Toy Story fans and there are two buildings devoted to this film.
